On Stage This Weekend: "Anna in the Tropics" and "Our Town"

   You have two excellent shows to choose from this weekend - one in Huntington and one in Charleston:

- Anna in the Tropics - Marshall University’s Theatre Alliance presents the play Oct. 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse. Set in a Florida Cigar factory in 1929, it focuses on the lives of Cuban immigrants who work there. At the time it was common for factories to employ “lectors” who entertained and educated workers by reading passages of literature to them. In the play, a new lector chooses “Anna Karenina” as a work, and unwittingly sets off a change in the worker’s lives. 

- Our Town - CYAC (Contemporary Youth Arts Company) presents the classic play by Thornton  Wilder on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. at the WVSU Capitol Center Theater at 123 Summers Street in Charleston. 

   So get out there and support your community theatre!
